The Ireland men’s 7s team beat South Africa in their opener in Paris.
THE IRELAND MEN’S 7s team made it a winning start to the Irish effort at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a well-earned victory over South Africa .
Tries from 7s stalwarts Jordan Conroy and Terry Kennedy were enough to send James Topping’s side to victory. But Conroy made amends shortly after as he crossed following an excellent passage of Irish play, an offload from the highly impressive Zac Ward freeing the Tullamore man to dot down wide on the left.A Niall Comerford turnover in the Irish 22 helped them to withstand pressure early in the second half and while the Blitzbokke then threatened in the left corner, a Kennedy breakout from deep in his own half shifted the momentum back in Ireland’s favour.
